CoinVoice has recently learned that according to the New York Times, the FBI searched the home of the founder of the Polymarket gambling website. Three people familiar with the matter said that the search of Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan was part of a criminal investigation.
Polymarket claimed that the raid was retaliation for its users’ overwhelming bets that Trump would win the election. Before the election, the site showed a strong chance of Trump winning and a weak chance of Harris winning, which was inconsistent with most mainstream polls.
It was previously reported that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the cryptocurrency prediction platform Polymarket, accusing it of accepting transactions from U.S. users. [Original link]
